Yes, very odd! This is the 21st century equivalent of the letters that are delivered by the post office decades after they were posted, that we read about in the newspapers from time to time.

Ha!
An Agfa Mk3 with the potential to use film up to 20x24 inches, although I've only used it with film as large as 16x20. There seems to be fairly sound physics for saying that some where between 5x4 and 8x10 is the golden zone where all the trade offs between diffraction limits, depth of field considerations and film grain maximizes the amount of detail captured on film. Very flat subjects allow one to move a little towards the larger end, but keeping the film flat and aligning everything correctly can compromise your gains there.
All the best
